Hey gang, we have received tons of email based on our Terminator Podcast and we wanted to share this one on the blog. This one comes from Phil over at http://resistance2029.blogspot.com/ 

One wild comment on the last episode, if you think about it, it is an ending kind of like “LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST.”

 

If you’ve seen that movie, the whole point was that Jesus gets tempted one last time before he dies. He sees what would happen if he doesn’t die in a parallel future timeline. He doesn’t become “CHRIST.” The world gets worse, even though he marries Mary Magdalene, and has kids, his life gets worse, and the world becomes hell on earth. At the end, he wakes up out of his delusion on the cross, and it doesn’t happen, it was all a Rod Serling dream.

 

The entire arc of the series would then be a Last Temptation of John Connor (J.C.)… Because he falls for a damned robot girl who flashed her tits at him, he fails to become the future leader who saves mankind from the infernal machines…he finds out that the future does not happen, his Dad does what he can, but in the end they fail. John Connor’s DESTINY can be altered by making terrible mistakes…he doesn’t get to marry Kate, he doesn’t become a rebel leader, and SKYNET WINS. Thus, the Last Temptation (by Cameron) of J.C. is our permanent television ending…its all just an experiment in possibility…which of course a lot of people would hate to think about… did we just watch 30 episodes only to find out Bob Newhart wakes up in an old television series?

 

Rod Serling would be proud, but the fans are going to be pissed.

 

Considering the religous tone of the show could this theory be what the writers had in mind? What are your thougths? Why not head over to Phil’s site and give him your opinion on this theory. http://resistance2029.blogspot.com/
